On Thursday, July 25th, rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson made a noteworthy appearance at Staten Island’s latest hotspot, Le Malt Imperiale, a private membership dining establishment quickly becoming the talk of New York City’s often overlooked borough. The occasion? To showcase his bespoke collection of Branson Cognac spirits, now available at Le Malt Imperiale and its owner’s spirit shop, Wine Chateau.
Arriving in pristine all-white attire, 50 Cent brought an air of sophistication to an already upscale evening. His visit was marked by the introduction of three signature cocktails crafted exclusively with his Branson Cognac line, which includes the Branson Cognac Phantom VS, Branson Cognac XO, Branson Cognac Grande Champagne VSOP, and Branson Cognac VS Phantom.
The highlight of these creations was the Branson Smoking Old Fashioned, a visually striking concoction made with Branson Cognac, maple syrup, orange bitters, and a touch of smoke. It was presented in a rocks glass in a mesmerizing smoking presentation box. This signature cocktail was ceremoniously presented to 50 Cent, perfectly aligning with the luxurious atmosphere of the venue.
As the evening unfolded, 50 Cent was not just a guest but a central figure in the event, engaging warmly with attendees. He shook hands, took photos with guests and members, and was even presented with his personalized spirit locker, a hallmark of Le Malt’s membership. This gesture highlighted the exclusivity and personal touch that Le Malt Imperiale is quickly becoming known for.
The evening was more than just a showcase of fine spirits; it celebrated luxury and elegance. The event also featured a partnership with Ferrari, with a lineup of these iconic cars displayed outside Le Malt, adding to the evening’s grandeur. Inside, guests were treated to a stellar performance by Raya, a well-known Staten Island vocalist, further enhancing the vibrant and exclusive ambiance of the night.
Le Malt Imperiale, situated on Putnam Street, is the latest gem from the Le Malt Hospitality Group, promising to elevate Staten Island’s status from “New York City’s forgotten borough” to a destination for those with refined, sophisticated tastes.

The club’s two dining rooms, lounge, saloon, and cellar offer an array of experiences, from a modern American menu by Chef Antonio Carballo to the eclectic offerings of a Sushi Bar helmed by Chef Yoshi.
But more than the food and design set Le Malt Imperiale apart.
